Re: [apmultiples] another rant from Valerie

[Susan Cerasin <inanna14 yahoo com>]

My case is the opposite. My girls have very little hair (they look like 
little Buddhist nuns :)) so people automatically assume they're boys. I 
had one woman almost argue with me about their sex because they're 
nearly bald. I didn't want to get into it with her so I just walked 
away. But the strangest comment I've gotten is when a shop clerk asked 
me whether they were boys or girls, I said girls, and she said "Of 
course, I should have known by the long eye lashes." Huh?
